God rest his soul. Who ever knew that Pope John Paul II had a passion for Hockey? It’s great to see even the Supreme Pontiff showing his love for a great sport. But who ever was his coach should be fired as he is definitely holding the stick backwards.

The green man costume is slowly starting to seep into the national sports consciousness. This odd green spandex outfit that covers a persons whole body and head is extremely creepy while being hilarious at the same time. It was made famous by the show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, in which one of the characters […]

Line changes are pretty routine in hockey. Most or all of the players skate off quickly while a new unit comes on the ice, right? Well not in this game between Sweden and Canada. Canada was up 4-0 about halfway through the 2nd period when Patrice Cormier laid a huge elbow into Anton Rodin‘s face. […]

More than one person should be embarrassed by this little clip. During the Islanders-Rangers game last night, the Rangers got the best of the Islanders 5-2. The highlight (or lowlight if you will) of the game was not a made goal, but instead this huge slip-up by Nate Thompson of the Islanders. We have seen […]

Bats just can’t win for losing these days. It seems like anytime they wander onto a sports field and interrupt play, the players and officials kill them and remove them so play can continue. Wait, what? You don’t see what the big deal is? Well neither do I, but PETA had a hissy fit when […]

It can be tough finding a way to beat last year’s Ontario Hockey League and Memorial Cup champions, the Windsor Spitfires. St. Michaels Majors forward William Wallen thought he had the answer as he pulled something out from his bag of tricks Friday night. With the game tied at 2-2 after regulation and five minutes […]

It is no secret that the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers do not like each other. The two inner-state rivals have met in the playoffs each of the past two years and it has been the Pens coming out on top both times. The Flyers were looking to exact some revenge last night in […]

The Simpsons have been around for 20 years and for all the laughs they have brought us, some of their best moments have revolved around sports. Yesterday we looked at the 25 best simpsons sports moments, and today we are continuing that by featuring 6 classic sports scenes.

It is easy to portray officials of any sport as the enemy, and hockey refs are no exception. When they call a good clean game without any problems, everyone seems to think “well they should because that is their job.” And in those cases when they happen to make a few blown calls, players, coaches […]

With the Simpsons entering their 20 year anniversary, we here at TPS have decided to pay tribute to them with a look back at 25 Great Sports Moments in The Simpsons History. My favorite is The Simpsons Hockey game which is yours?

Times have been rough as of late for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Currently sitting in 10th place in the Eastern conference, the team is a shadow of it’s former self that won a Stanley Cup. But with the emergence of Steven Stamkos as a legitimate superstar, along with Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis, the […]

Those of us familiar with the events surrounding the North American sporting world have witnessed the desire for some professional athletes to “make it rain” over the past year or so. On Friday night, the fans of the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights decided to follow suit, but they substituted dollar bills with teddy bears, […]

This shot was one in a million. Ryan Miller, the goalie for the Buffalo Sabres, doesn’t get the opportunity to really work on his pinpoint accuracy that often. He’s a goalie, so obviously his focus is more on stopping the puck and clearing it then anything else. In fact, when it comes to Ryan Miller, […]

If you were under the mistaken impression that girls were not as tough as boys, this video should help put that misconception to rest. She is not the first girl to defend herself on the ice, and she won’t be the last. Hockey is generally a very physical sport, and this girl had to know […]

Everyone has their own way of letting out frustration. When it comes to sports, it may often be released against the opposition, or maybe even on the officials. Rarely does frustration result in teammate-on-teammate violence, but that was the case Monday night in Atlanta, and the result was a terrifying one for Toman Vokoun and […]
